Jamaican bbq - Jerk cooking

Jamaican food and drink

Traditional jamaican cooking fits in well with the general conception of the islanders' laid back way of life. Recipes are rarely scientifically measured out, ingredients instead being thrown into pots and pans measured only by rule of thumb.

Jamaican jerk

The "Jerk" in Jerk Chicken or Jerk Pork refers not to an ingredient, but to a method of cooking bought to Jamaica over 250 years ago.

 

Jamaican inspired BBQ recipes

Jamaican jerk pork

An authentic Caribbean recipe that is incredibly flavourful. Though chicken jerk is perhaps more universally recognised as the taste of Jamaica, the original recipes always used pork.
